My sites have a much smaller target group, since the Netherlands are a bit smaller than China, I have a site with about 1 k uniques/day (after a year), and two new sites with about 200 uniques/day and still growing. One of theme is about sailing and is now often present in the sports section of the dutch Google News because of the Volvo Ocean Race. Dutch Geeklog sites about camping/hiking:
www.kampeerzaken.nl | www.campersite.nl | www.caravans.nl | www.caravans.net

I read on the mail lists that the developers try to make geeklog faster and not waste resources.

I wonder one thing: The geeklog.net home page contains 65 images, 29 of them are just speck.gif in tables. Can one say that a css theme like axons is faster because it has less spacer gif? Does it produce less server load? Is this an important thing?

BTW you can see the size of a page and the number of images in the extended status bar add on in Firefox.

Alexa is the best service available online to monitor your site traffic. Though its data is based on just a sample and not actual visitor count yet its the only relaible source to monitor your site performance. The less your site ranking is on alexa the more is value of it, the no#1 rank means the best one.

Amount of traffic you get depends on many factors like the subject of your website, the optimizations you did for your website. I mean both on-page and off-page optimizations. seo has a lot of effect on your traffic. All ways help your website to known more can help you.
One of my friends had a website which had about 100,000 page views daily but he really did a lot of work for it. When you try more, you get more visits too
